1. “What is greater than love, more evil than hate. The poor have it, the rich need it, and if you eat it, you’ll die.”

2. A king has two sons. He is growing old, and wishes to retire. To determine who takes the throne next, he proposes a test.
“Each of my sons will race on horseback around the castle. Whichever son’s horse crosses /last/, will have the throne.”
The princes stood by the finish line by their horses for days, each one waiting for the other to begin. Finally, the wise woman comes out, and says something to them. They quickly leap to horseback and begin riding as fast as they can towards the finish.
What did the wise woman say?

This one is kinda lame and doesn't make that much sense, but here goes:

You are trapped in a room with no doors, windows, or other ways out. The only things in the room other than yourself are a table and a mirror. How do you escape?

(Side note: feel free to give purposely wrong answers as long as they are creative and/or entertaining)

Once upon a time there were two cats, an English cat and a French cat. The English cat was called "One Two Three" and the French cat was called"Un Deux Trois". One day they decided to have a competition to see who could swim across the English Channel the fastest. So they both jumped in the water and started swimming. Which cat won, and why?

Ohh I see its a pun about French pronunciation. The one-two-three cat won, because un deux trois quatre cinq (pronounced like cat sank). French is weeeeiiiiird.

It’s true I bring serenity, and hang around the stars. But yet I live in misery, you’ll find me behind bars. With thieves and villains I consort, in prison I’ll be found. But I would never go to court, ‘less there’s more than one around. What am I?

A combination of grey, green, brown and a tinyyy bit of yellow. Maybe some blue, depending on who you ask. My eyes are not one solid color!
